International Press Academy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Press Academy (IPA) claims to be the largest entertainment press organization in the world.[1] The academy was founded in 1996 by Mirjana Van Blaricom; Van Blaricom was formerly the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which sponsors the Golden Globe Awards.[2][3] All full-time entertainment journalists are eligible to join; membership is open to journalists listed in the MPAA directory and to those working journalists who submit at least six entertainment-related clips to be considered by the board.[4] The organization claims to have been among the first to recognize New Media in its awards equitably with film and television.
Every year, the IPA presents Satellite Awards; these were formerly known as the Golden Satellite Awards.
